Go To

Airdate: March 10th, 2023

Pool Party: The entire class is invited to Candle Fox's pool party, but Barry reveals to Kiff that he can't swim.

Road Trip: The Chatterlys and Barry go on a road trip, much to Kiff's dismay, during which, Kiff and Barry tease the leader of a bike gang and are pursued by the group.

"Pool Party" contains examples of:

  • Birthday Episode: For Candle Fox.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Kiff and Barry are kicked out of the waterpark for a year after flooding the entire park. At the same time, Helen is saved from being humiliated on Roy Fox's new show, and Barry has more time to learn how to swim before the next pool party.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Harry's DJ 11:30 persona can be seen in the background in some scenes.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Roy is interested in Helen's dancing, so he offers her a spot on his show. However, this show is intended to make fun or people who do embarrassing stuff.
  • Pool Episode: The episode takes place at a waterpark.
  • Shout-Out: Roy Fox's Tabletown's Cringiest Wannabes is fashioned after the intro to Jackass.

"Road Trip": contains examples of:

  • Acronym Confusion: Kiff and Barry immediately believe the vicious bikers acronym FBM stands for the Furious Bike Monsters but it actually stands for Fender Bender Menders
  • Driving Song: Doubles with Playground Song.
    This is a song, it's a sing-along song.
    It's a song you can sing-along to,
    If you want to.
    But if you don't sing along when you hear the gong,
    Things will go wrong,
    TERRIBLY WRONG!
  • Face of a Thug: The bikers in this episode while looking menacing, are actually just a group of nice bikers who repair people's cars and other vehicles and was just trying to fix the rental car's dangly muffler.
  • Follow the Bouncing Ball: Appears on screen with a picture of Kiff's (unamused) face replacing the ball during the Unsung Sing-Along Song.
  • Literal-Minded: Martin and Barry both admonish Kiff for not singing along to the Sing Along Song when things go terribly wrong, noting it's right in the lyrics.
  • Road Trip Episode: Duh. Also Played for Laughs since the intended destination was the rental space they rented the car, as it was revealed that they were only going on a road trip to test drive the car.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The music heard from the snake family's car sounds like "We Like To Party", aka the theme song to Six Flags.
    • The canyon chase betwen the bikers and family at one point parodies a car-jumping sequence from Mad Max: Fury Road.
